Expansion good for area
The Ohio Valley has quality educational opportunities for people of all ages, and one local college is working to make sure it can continue that tradition. West Virginia Northern Community College is preparing to begin the design phase for an expansion to its Weirton campus in an effort to better serve its students. With increasing enrollment and new programs being offered, it was only a matter of time before the Weirton campus needed more space. More students are opting to continue their education than ever before, and many adults are now finding themselves returning to school to either complete a degree or to start a new career. Weirton’s campus alone has seen an increase of 179 students, according to officials, and there are more than 3,100 people attending the three campuses combined. The two-floor expansion is planned to be up to 8,000 square feet, providing more space for classrooms and labs for some of the college’s, medical, therapy and technology programs.
